The star wide receiver of the Giants is coming into the final year of his rookie contract; one that will pay him $8.45 million in the 2018 season.

Beckham has stated before that he was looking to become the highest-paid player and receiver in the league. If not for a fractured ankle, he very well could have been looking at that kind of payday given his production since his rookie season.

The good thing for Beckham is that he still has another season to get back to form and get a deal done with the Giants.

As far as that potential contract goes, Giants co-owner John Mara told the media on Friday that the team will get a deal done eventually with their star wide-out.

“We will deal with that at the appropriate time. That is not necessarily right now. I’ve said before many times that we want him to be a Giant. We will get something done at some point,” Mara told reporters. “I first want Pat [Shurmur] to sit down with him and for them to have a good understanding of how we are going to act going forward. I have a lot of confidence that it will work out well, but we’ll see.”

The Giants are known to take care of their core players and sign them to fair extensions. They signed Eli Manning to a four-year, $80 million extension before the 2015 season when he had just one season remaining on his deal.

The Giants have plenty of time to talk with Beckham and come to terms on a deal that works for both sides. In the meantime, Beckham’s primary focus is to make sure he’s completely healthy from his previous injuries and to get back onto the field for the 2018 season.
